there are women in the large cities who
have to work in this way. 1t is hard for
people who have the means of supplying
their daily wants TO realize that any of their
fellow beings are doomed to a life of dark
ness and grinding poverty such as these
women endure.
That women are in many cases underpaid
for their services as seamStresSes and sales
women in stores is unQuestionably true.
Hard hearted as stone and cruel as a ser
pent is the man who will eXtort a profit
from the poverty of the women who work
for him. But it would be folly to seek the
cause of this evil in nothing but the flinty-
heartedness of employers. The trouble is
due, not to the foIm of government, nor to
the organization of society, but to the civili-
zation which drives women by the score into
certain employments and keeps them out of
others.
When a dry goods merchant may take his
choice from among twenty applicants for
work at Sc per week it is not to be expected
that he will insist upon paying SO. The
number of competitors in certain kinds OF
work reduces the wages. Women will
work for starvation wages in store or at
sewing rather than secure comfortable
living by doing housework.
utIc NiOhS SNOOut tilC CIV
ilization which teaches woman that it is
more honorable to sew sixteen hours day
for starvation wages than it is to secure a
comfortable living in domestic service.
There are undoubtedly hundreds of women
and girls working in stores or as seam
stresses who have not one whit more re-
iinement, and are not in any respect better
educated than girls who are employed as
servants in households. But the former
hold themselves far above the latter. The
civilization is wrong which teaches young
girls and women to make distinction of
this kind.
1t is also wrong civilization which
teaches young women whose parents are
well able to provide for them and who are
surrounded by the comforts of home life
that they are in duty bound to go out into
the world and compete with their less
fortunate sisters in the struggle for living.
Home life and home work constitute the
proper sphere for every woman. and it is a
false philosophy which teaches anything
else. The woman, whether married or un-
ma cried, who cannot live at home and find
employment in home work is unfortunate.
But the unhappy condition of these un-
fortunates is rendered all the more unhappy
bv the competition of girls who, although
thy have comfortable homes. will, for the
sake of earning pittance of pin money.
seek employment as 'saleSladieS," or clerks,
or SeamStreSSeS.

They accuse me OF flirting with Harry,
Who hasn't d cent to his name,
And certainly don't mean to marry;
Such SANDERS q sin and shame.
They say I've been often seen walking
With Harry alone on the rocks;
We've been seen on the sand sitting talking,
Regardless of custom-and frocks.
They say we were walking together
The day OF that trip to the lake:
And our losing our way in the heather
They re certain was not a mistake.
At Rodicll's they frequently mention.
When laughter is noisy and loud,
We, with care to attract no attention,
Slip quietly off from the crowd.
